Select Magic c.v.b.a.

Most magicians, at some time, buy a marked deck. And after a short time, the deck is put into a drawer and forgotten. What a terrible waste ! The marked deck is an extraordinarily powerful tool. Not just good for a trick or two, the marked deck - as long-time professional Kirk Charles shows in this book, is a means for improving countless tricks in your repertoire, and a way to protect yourself in every performance from accidents and oversights. Unlike many texts that have come before, MARKED FOR LIFE does not focus on a single type of marked deck. Instead, it explores the many possibilities and uses to which any marked deck can be put. MARKED FOR LIFE provides an informative overview of the many types of marked decks (including the Ted Lesley, Bob Farmer, Harry Riser and Boris Wild marking systems as well as Luminous Readers and Juice Decks), a large number of tricks with them, subtleties and applications for a variety of purposes and a lenghty bibliography. If you don't presently use a marked deck, this book will guide you in finding or making yourself the right one for your needs. And if you already have a marked deck, MARKED FOR LIFE will get it out of that drawer and into your act. You will not believe the stunning effects possible with a marked deck until you read this book. 96 pages. Profusely illustrated. English language.
